The requirements of watchmaking polishing

Watches are made of many small metal parts, most of which require high precision polishing.

Case middle, case, bracelet, dial... these watch parts are made of gold, silver, platinum and many other precious, ferrous or copper metals.

They are polished throughout the manufacturing process to achieve a perfect shine, thus giving the watch its full brilliance.

The watchmaker masters specific skills, such as polishing, beveling, lapping, polishing, grinding and finishing, for which MERARD has developed high-end polishing compounds and buffing mops.

For the polishing of the multiple parts of a watch, polishing can be manual or robotized, from the simplest to the most complex and concerns all surfaces: precious, copper, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, but also plastics, acetate, plexiglass, wood, scales and others…
